Lab 5 - Torque
Methods:
To complete this lab, we first put tape across a door and marked out the 10cm, 40cm, and 70cm
marks. We then opened the door about 45° and marked the position on the floor. Then, we
pushed the door closed at each of the marks on the tape and recorded the force using the force
sensor on the IOLab.
The materials needed for this lab were:
●
Tape
●
Marker
●
IOLab
●
Door
●
Computer
Results:
Question 1:
It is important to hold the IOLab perpendicular to the door because if the IOLab is not
perpendicular, the recorded force will not be accurate. As we can see in equation 8-18,
T= rFsinθ, only the perpendicular component of the force exerts a torque about the pivot.
Question 2:
As I push the door closed, the door hinges are on my right. Therefore, the torque I am applying
has a direction that is clockwise and negative.
Question 3:
Force at 40 cm: (23.1±0.3)N
Same torque at 10 cm:
Same torque at 70 cm:
Force measurements (Question 4):
10 cm:
F = (25.27±0.05)N
40 cm:
F = (23.1±0.3)N
70 cm:
F = (23.0±0.1)N

Question 5:
The force required to keep a consistent torque will have an inverse relationship with radius. We
can see this relationship in equation 8-18, T= rFsinθ. Knowing that sin(90) is 1 and rearranging
for force gives us F = T/r To illustrate this relationship, I made a graph of force vs radius for a
constant torque of 100 NM.
As we can see, The amount of force needed is reciprocally/inversely related to the radius.
Therefore the relationship between force and radius is not linear.
Question 6:
It is possible to evaluate the force required to close a door by pushing at 1 cm as long as we
have a torque. The force we would get would be very large as closing a door from a short radius
will cause the force needed to increase.
Conclusion
In this Lab, we were tasked with finding torque at 3 different radii. The torque calculated at 10
cm, 40 cm, and 70 cm respectively are (2.53 ±0.01) NM, (9.2 ±0.1) NM, and (16.10 ±0.07) NM.
Some sources of uncertainty in this lab could have been inconsistent pushing, a non-levelled
floor, or a non-90-degree angle between the IOLab and the door. This experiment could be
performed more accurately if the floor is very level, and if a machine was used to push the
IOLab against the door. This would guarantee a constant force and a constant angle.

Q1: The arms of a Porter governor are 250 mm long. The upper arms are pivoted on
the axis of revolution, but the lower arms are attached to a sleeve at a distance of 50
mm from the axis of rotation. The weight on the sleeve is 600 N and the weight of
each ball is 80 N. Determine the equilibrium speed when the radius of rotation of the
balls is 150 mm. If the friction is equivalent to a load of 25 N at the sleeve, determine
the range of speed for this position.
Q2: In a loaded Proell governor shown in Figure below each ball weighs 3 kg and
the central sleeve weighs 25 kg. The arms are of 200 mm length and pivoted about
axis displaced from the central axis of rotation by 38.5 mm, y=238 mm, x=303.5
mm, CE 85 mm, MD 142.5 mm. Determine the equilibrium speed.

For my assigment, I was asked to design a electric motorbike that has a peformance equal to Honda CBR1000 Fireblade which has a petrol engine. A part of the the assignment is to calculate " An estimate of maximum Power your new motor will need to generate to match the Honda’s performance." I can make the assumption, apart from changing the motor, everything else is going to stay the same so the fairing,the rider and etc they're gonna be the same for the two bikes. So can you please tell me how I can calculate that which information would I need ?

Topics:
Statics of Rigid Bodies, Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies, Equilibrium in Two Dimensions, etc.
I will rate you with “LIKE/UPVOTE," if it is COMPLETE STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION.
If it is INCOMPLETE SOLUTION and there are SHORTCUTS OF SOLUTION, I will rate you with “DISLIKE/DOWNVOTE.”
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
PS: If you have answered this already, don’t answer it again; give chance to other experts to answer it. I want to verify if all of you will arrive in the same final answer; thats why I ask it multiple times. If you answer it again, i'll dislike all your entries/answers.

Statics and Principles of Moments
A seesaw that weights 45lbs and its 5m long is balanced on the fulcrum in the center.
1- Two children are sitting on opposite sides of each other on the seesaw. One child weights 50lbs and is sitting 0.7m on the left side. Where should the other child sit in order to be balanced on the seesaw if they weigh 42lbs?
2- Now, another child wants to sit on the seesaw and weighs 30lbs and is sitting 1.25m in front of them and is closer to the fulcrum. What are the CW and CCW moment of the seesaw now? What is the net moment and direction?
3- Then, a fourth child wants to play on the seesaw and is on the left side of the plank in order to bring the system to equilibrium. How much does the child weigh (Calculate the pounds of force needed in order for rebalance?)
4- Now the fourth child leaves the other three children sitting on the plank. If the three children are sitting in the same potions as they did in part b, the plank would need to move on the seesaw…

Statically Equivalent Loads. A highly idealized biomechanical model of the human body is shown
below, sectioned in a horizontal plane through the lower back showing the major muscle forces in
gray, with the back of the body in the positive y-direction. The same four muscles act on the left and
right sides of the trunk and there is symmetry with respect to the y – z plane. On each side, the
tensile (pulling) forces acting in each of the four different muscles are: FR = 150 N, Fo = 150 N, F1 =
230 N, and Fr = 320 N, and all are acting in the z-direction.
Assume that this system of muscle forces is statically equivalent to a single resultant force vector Fres
and a single resultant moment vector Mres, referenced to point 0.
a- For this cartesian coordinate system, calculate the three components (x, y, and z) of Mres
b- Which components (x, y, or z) of the resultant muscle moment vector would enable you to bend
in the forward-backward direction, bend to one side, and twist, respectively?…
